New season and hopefully a win on the cards!

I think Robins will start a full strength squad and it'll be a hard fought 1-1.

Discuss.

Think I’m going to find myself in Manchester for this. Any recommendations of pubs I can take the missus to for food and sneakily watch the match?

Nothing to fear from this lot still have a good team on paper but will they be ready for a derby game to kick off? poor preparation pre season should see us playing then at them right time

Think the new look defence will struggle and Leicester’s attack looks the strongest in the division. 3-1 loss.

They've got a very very good first eleven and we've got a lot of new faces that may take a few weeks to get going. I'm going for a 2-1 loss.

Hopefully, we’ll stuff them. Realistically, probably not.

Very difficult to predict, as we’re a relatively unknown quantity at the moment.

I’d say a 1-1 or a 1-0 either way. PUSB. ⚽️

Might be wrong place for this, but does anyone know if The Burnt Post or Red Lion show Cov matches?

I think 1-1, 2 sides that will get better as the season goes on.

2-0 loss - massive fan overreaction, Wright booed off, taxis at the ready outside of the king power

I’d take a draw right now. There won’t be many teams who go to their place and leave with points. Let’s hope there not quite firing on all cylinders just yet.

So many uncertainties:
- will Simms/Wright step up to the Gyokeres standard
- how will the new CBs get on
- Who will play WB
- 2 up top vs 1
- anything can happen in a derby game

And thats before the Leicester uncertainties of new manager, how good they will be following a disjointed pre-season, but probably the strongest starting XI in the division

Will be a good benchmark for us, but could easily be 2.0 us or 4.0 them or somewhere in between (pointing out the obvious i know!)

I think we can win this, catch them cold, their defence isn't anything special and they'll concede, as well as flying back from Thailand is hardly the best preparation either.

2-1 win.

Red Lion on Hinckley Rd doesn't really, it's got a TV but not sure they've got Sky Sports and they've actively sought not to have people watching football in there over the years. Walsgrave probably a better bet.

Maybe Sakamoto for Van Ewijk, if he's not ready to start.

They have a good squad and should be promoted fairly comfortably, but this is probably the best time to play them as they've only played two friendlies and haven't spent much of the Maddison/Barnes money yet.

Another Robins tactical masterclass a la playoff second leg, 1-0 win.

No, but they're miles apart and there are dozens of pubs inbetween that do

I'd start Binks, as well as Hamer coming on we looked a bit more fluent with him on the ball

Yeah I think it will be down to earth with a bump. I hope I'm wrong.
Will our fans be able to see the bigger picture? I doubt it.

Alot of the Leicester starting 11 are massively overrated , but they have a decent coach

Palmer, Simms and Wright with MvE on the right and Hamer buzzing around seems unreal vs. previous seasons.

Regardless of the contract/transfer issues, is Hamer fit enough to start?

Decent coach, but will that translate into management?

My prediction is a draw, but can see us giving Leicester a bloody nose. Welcome back to the Championship…

Do they? He wasn’t great at Parma.

I think it will be a narrow loss, maybe 2-1. Nothing to discredit us though necessarily. Would be happy enough with a draw.

I very much doubt Wright will play. Maybe a cameo 5 minutes but will not be match fit.

I don’t do score line predictions. That City team ‘ Edgy’ put up earlier in the thread looks great on paper but they’ve hardly played together at all. On the other hand Leicester have just come off the back of a difficult season, how is their confidence ?
An ‘ Edgy’ start might be the order of the day for both sides, I’d be happy with a draw and move on.

This is a journey into the unknown, how will they cope with dropping down , new manager, not much creativity
How will our abundance of new signings settle in , will we gel right away
The one thing that is known , the sba will drown out the happy clappers

Got a feeling that we could nick all the points. Come the end of the season I expect Leicester to be there or their abouts but I think they’ll have some adjustment to go through first. On that basis I don’t think they’ll be a better time to play them away and that’s why I think we’ll take all 3 points. 0-2, Ellis Simms both goals.
